The only thing I can really think about come May is flowers! I want to surround myself with blooms of every shape and color. I can’t wait until every tree is lush with bright green leaves. I take walks with no destination just to see what new flower has popped up in neighbors yards. And I put my hands in my pockets to keep them from naughtily plucking a few as I go along! I simply can’t get enough.
The overwhelming abundance of color this month is truly nature’s way of making up for hard winters, and we could certainly use the reward this season. Especially after the destructive weather of the past few weeks it is nice to be reminded that nature can be gentle and beautiful. Sort of like life in that way, there will always be freezing winters and terrifying winds, but however fleeting, there will also always be moments of pure beauty. Have a gorgeous month everyone!

Such a pretty post! Just what I needed for my lunch hour.
Since we live in the same neck of the woods, I know what you mean. Every time I drive down the road, something new has blossomed. I LOVE this time of year!

Oh these colors make me happy!
I bought two bouquets at the farmer’s market yesterday: one of lilacs, one of peonies. My apartment is already a thousand times better. I really do love all the blooms May brings.
